Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓-1/2 cup white sugar (we like it with just shy of ½ cup)
  • 1 beer at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325degrees F. Grease a standard size bread pan with either butter or spray.
  2. Sift the flour. Add baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the beer and gently fold the mixture until moist and just combined. (see pics) DO NOT STIR ANY MORE THAN NECESSARY. Chunky is OK. A few dry spots is also OK. Otherwise the bread will get very dense and hard. :(
  4. Pour into the loaf pan and bake for a total of 1 hour 15 minutes. After the first 45 minutes, baste the bread with melted butter. Bake another 15 minutes and baste again. Finally, once the bread comes out of the oven, baste with remaining melted butter.
  5. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack and allow to cool completely. (if you can wait that long!) The only problem is, that If you don't, the bread will break apart as you cut it.
